It looks like Donald Trump and Roger Ailes are no longer besties.

Roger Ailes. The former Fox News boss had reportedly served as an advisor to Trump throughout the campaign. He was said to have played a particularly important role as of late, helping him prepare for the presidential debates.

That's all changed now, according to Sherman and Vanity Fair contributing editor Sarah Ellison. The reason for the fallout depends on who you ask.

On the Trump side, Ellison said the story is different: “Even for the second debate, Ailes kept going off on tangents and talking about his war stories while he was supposed to be prepping Trump.”

Gee, two well known liars with different stories.

May have to flip a coin to decide who to believe in this one, but what does not seem to be in dispute is the fact that these two monstrous egos could not coexist in the same space.

I can only imagine how frustrating it was for Roger Ailes, who is used to holding up hoops for his employees to jump through, to work with a candidate who never listens to anybody and who seems determined to drive his campaign over a cliff.

On the plus side for Ailes (Or perhaps not.) there is talk of making a TV series which chronicles the end of his career at Fox News.

They are talking about getting Anthony Hopkins for the role of Roger Ailes but I think that the actor who pulled this off in the movie Blade would be the better choice.

Just listened to Ivanka talk about how she is not a surrogate. She sounded like a wife, particularly when she addressed their conversations. As a woman, Trump viscerally scares me. What if he is elected and this attitude toward women and minorities becomes a way of life? It has become that way already in isolated instances. Thanks God, almighty protector. what a crock.

THE WALL"The Culinary Union, long a Donald Trump antagonist in Las Vegas, is going to “build” a wall of taco trucks outside Trump’s hotel, just a couple miles from UNLV, site of the final presidential debate."

I just came back from Vegas where I had a view of the giant gold brick Trump tower. What I noticed right off was that it sits by itself at the north end of the strip, away from all the more established resort hotels - the classy Venetian, Palazzo, Cesars Palace, etc. Like even the Vegas hotels don't want him in the neighborhood

Trump Tautology. "Trump should listen to this guy, because Newt, he’s what Republicans nowadays consider an intellectual.""In the end, this is what we have:

An unprepared amateur who substitutes bluster and bombast for actual substance and preparation.Ora professional of intellect and wit who’s been preparing for this moment her entire life.Those are your choices.Make of them what you will."Jim W.<<<<<<<<

Trump needs all his women friends more than ever, right now. Right now, not next week or even tomorrow.

Hanging with Ailes has to be a killer for his reputation. He needs to make some new voters that are female. He has Melania and Kellyanne. There must be more woman that will speak up and give him support now when he needs it more than ever.

Trump is falling into a deep black hole he can never get out of if something doesn't change for him, NOW.

Like all the Republican women that support him come out of hiding and show what you are about and why you support him. If you won't do that for Trump, you won't do it for anyone. Republican women, the man, Donald Trump needs you now.

Whhhaaaaatttt? If hanging with Ailes would be a killer for his reputation? I thought just hanging with himself would be enough to do that. I mean, I am sure he has bankrupted many times because he's constantly paying shut up money out. And I heard somewhere along the line, on of the women who referred to him as an octopus.

Trump has no friends unless they are on his payroll and paid to be his friend. As for Ailes, after he was fired from his last job he was unfirable....except by Trump....'nuff said, Trump thinks it's okay to sexually harass women.

Trump shows his character by bring in those women last debate and now Obama's brother. He tries to get into Hillary's head in the worst way. I hope Hillary knows some judo because last time he looked like he was going to do some bodily harm. He's not the kind to take losing lightly and everyone has, so far, given spoiled baby don his way.

I worried on that last debate that he would attack her physically... menacing doesn't even begin to describe it. The Secret Service will be on their toes tonight. If he did make a move on her physically...bye, bye Trump for sure.

That is hilarious. I doubt Hil will think twice or once about it. Of course, he will have to lie and say something about it so he can be negative. No wonder Ailes would not see eye to eye with the maroon Trump. As dirty and creepy as Ailes is, I don't think his brain is that demolished to think a bro is some debate point.

Trump has really lost it. It looks like he will be around for awhile and we will get to see him lose more.

He brought the brother for something that his racist fans will laugh at. He doesn't respect that man. Its a joke. I am surprised that the man went. Ivanka's face looks good in photos but not so good as she speaks, very plastic and the pieces do not fit.

I'd say in this case they were both telling the truth. Trump can't focus and I'm sure Ailes, in frustration was spinning stories of his successes and why Trump needed to listen and focus.

Yep. Neither of those pigs are going to sing and both are annoyed as hell.

But....isn't this delightful to read on the day of the debate. We know Donald didn't do any prepping except to memorize a few zingers and decide how he was going to attack Hillary's character. I guess he figures Chris Wallace is a push over who won't keep him on message or call time on him.

Trump doesn't understand that when he's a bully on stage, interrupting Clinton and refusing to yield when his time is up, that it negatively impacts him. He also doesn't understand how it hurts him to go off message and refuse to answer the question.

Hillary stays calm, on point, answers the question and rarely goes more than a few seconds over her time.

The debates are to help us determine who is more presidential and who is more fit for the office.

We could have stopped at the first one. The second (and third) will simply reinforce a decision we've already made.

Yeah. Trump is whacked. He invites Obama's half-brother as, I guess, a jab because BO told Trump to stop whining. But so what? Why waste a guest. It just looks silly and amateur. Trump also needs to bring female guests all the time to make him stronger, whether it be accusers of Bill (and he has a new one he's bringing tonight) or the mother of a deceased Smith of Benghazi and, too now, the then-girlfriend or fiancee of Chris Stevens. He has to invite woman after woman to give him a pair of balls, and he invites mostly women who have nothing directly to do with the campaign and his seating area is so tabloid. Some guests I get, sure, although it's still a sign of how desperate and needy Trump is. He thinks he's so macho? Hah!

A man identified as a Russian hacker suspected of pursuing targets in the United States has been arrested in the Czech Republic, the police announced Tuesday evening.

The arrest occurred two days before the Obama administration formally accused the Russian government of stealing and disclosing emails from the Democratic National Committee and other institutions and prominent individuals.

Now, from a news perspective, I understand we can't say this, but I'm a political analyst. And I can look at the numbers and I can look at the trajectory. The moment of impact of the Titanic did not signal the downing of the ship. The physics take over. But at first after the strike the ship barely shuddered and that's the moment we're in now. '

Mark Cuban thinks this is Steve Bannon. Bannon is the one managing the unmanageable Trump. Bannon knows they are losing and he can set Trump up to be a bigger loser and take it to a revolution or some total destruction of the America he is hating on.

Trump is just a dumb puppet for Bannon, Breitbart, alt right.

Makes sense that Bannon would have Sarah Palin with Trump. He still thinks she is undefeated.

Yeah, after all this is over someone needs to do a piece and Bannon, Palin, and Trump hate America. I never could follow that exactly. Then someone needs to do piece on following the money and connecting Trump to you know who.
